Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F and spray the inside of an 8×11½-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.

Step 2

If the breasts are uneven thickness, pound them (placed in a Ziplock bag and on a flat surface) to an even ¾-1-inch thickness using a meat pounder.

Step 3

Sprinkle the breasts (both sides) with 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and all of the freshly ground black pepper, and place them in the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

Whisk together Caesar dressing and sour cream in a small bowl. Pour the Caesar/sour cream mixture over each breasts then sprinkle the remaining ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 5

Place the prepared chicken in the oven and bake at 375°F for 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of one of the middle breasts reads 150°F.

Step 6

Turn the oven to broil and broil the breasts an additional 2-4 minutes, or until the chicken turns golden brown. It can burn quickly, so watch it closely. When done, a meat thermometer should register 165°F when stuck into the thickest part of one of the middle breasts.

Step 7

Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil and allow chicken to rest 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
